Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck
It strikes me as somewhat interesting that Jung has so many fans here, inasmuch as he was a Nazi sympathizer and sometimes fan. So much for a solid philosophical base! 
What do you think Audiogon does right? or wrong?
The only complaints I have very had about AudiogoN were when I didn't know my way around it. I am barely computer literate (some might argue that I am barely literate) but I find it very easy to get around here now.The forums are great. I follow m... 
Vinyl and slurring S'es
It sounds like a set-up issue. I'm in the process of moving or I would be able to tell you what Robert Harley and/or Laura Dearborn have to say about this. I think it is an alignment or overhang issue, but if you can, go to Barnes and Noble and se... 
Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck
Psychicanimal, if there is little or nothing to the construction of these $7000 cables can you make a few pairs for me? I will pay you $1000 per pair for every one that sounds as good as the cable I currently have, which by the way is not as good ...

Sean, did she only buy two tickets??? Chicago isn't that far from here. 
I don't understand Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue"
I have not read through all the responses, but there is also the issue of the sound Miles had on this LP. He was praised at the time for having a unique sound which upon further inspection turned out to be due to a tape speed issue. Before this di... 
Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck
I'm not sure what some of the above comments mean, but I did a review of Albert Porters Purist Dominus several months ago now. If I understand correctly some people don't think my system is of sufficient quality to hear subtle differences in cable... 
What did you replace your DQ-10's with?
I just can't give up on "Dairy Queen." You have to love their consistancy. 
What is the worst colour of speaker finish to you?
I hate black woodgrain finishes. Why make something look like wood and then color it black, unless you're Brian Jones. 
What do you currently own that was bought on 'Gon?
Good question!A krell KRC 2 pre-amp which was a great buy on a very good pre-amp. A Pass Labs Aleph Ono phono stage which was completely upgraded by the designer with all the goodies that went into the Xono. I was nervous about this purchase, but ... 
Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck
So what conclusion can we draw from all of this anamus, or has the original question been utterly lost? 
What's the funniest or dumbest thing you did?
Thanks for the responses, I nearly fell out of my chair laughing. I'm not sure if I was laughing with you or at you, but does it matter? 
CD v. SACD
Maybe because "we" whine too much about the technology not being perfected instead of letting Sony release it and see what needs to be improved from an end-users perspective! Why would they stick a lot more money into a format that is regularly de... 
Albertporter only needs 50
Albert, put me down for two. If I buy these I will finally have one thing as good as what you have. Can you imagine what a high that would be for me. Besides, if I can do anything to help Albert, I will! 
How do you clean your records?
All of these are good suggestions. I still prefer the Sota LPC record cleaner. It's the lazy mans way at arriving at a great source.
